She won both of those of course (with big majorities) and the Major-Conseratives held on back in 1992 with a working majority in the Commons despite most opinion polls (and an enthusiastic BBC) forecasting their political demise at the polls.
Labour will have to work hard to hold on to their overall majority at the next General Election but it is a fact (and I don't like it) that they could do it with some effort.
"It ain't over 'till it's over" as they say.
